How does the Canopy shuttle get you to the DEN terminal and back?
Canopy serves both the East and West sides of the terminal at Island 3, through West Terminal Door 508 and East Terminal Door 511, effective June 1, 2022. It says it is not permitted to pick up anywhere else. DEN's parking page places off-airport shuttles on Level 5, Island 3, which matches. Canopy does not publish the ride time in minutes, only that it takes a few minutes.
Arriving at Canopy
- Leave early. Canopy advises adding 30 minutes to your airline's guidance, or 50 minutes during Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, Thanksgiving and December holiday travel.
- Drive to 8100 Tower Rd in Commerce City. The entrance is on the east side of Tower Road just north of Peña Boulevard; Propark Mobility places it at East 81st Avenue.
- Scan your reservation at the entry lane. If you pull a ticket instead, keep it and scan both the ticket and the reservation at the exit kiosk.
- For self-park, follow the signs to the row marked for the fastest shuttle pickup, park, and wait outside your car or turn on your flashers after dark. The shuttle comes to your car and the driver helps with bags.
- For covered valet, enter the valet garage on the right side and check in with the attendant. The shuttle picks you up near the indoor lobby, which offers free coffee and snacks.
Coming back to Denver
- Leave baggage claim through West Terminal Door 508 or East Terminal Door 511.
- Walk to Island 3 and wait at the green Canopy Airport Parking sign. Between 12 AM and 6 AM, call (303) 574-9800 first.
- Have your parking location or valet ticket ready when you board. Canopy says the shuttle drops you directly at your vehicle.
- Pay at exit if you did not prepay. All three exit lanes take QR codes, bar codes, 5280 accounts and credit or debit cards.
